For shooters who value classic handling with refined ergonomics, a traditional side-by-side can be the most honest tool in the field. A well-set stock, predictable barrels, and a balanced weight make for repeatable hits on winged game and provide a tactile, confidence-building experience at the range.
MERKEL Suhl SXS Shotgun is offered in a configuration that appeals to hunters and precision-minded shooters alike: 12GA with 28″ barrels, a stock modified to increase the L.O.P. to 14.5″, and both barrels set as fixed full choke. 
Design and Fit
The Merkel name carries a legacy for fine shotgun fit and finish. This MERKEL Suhl SXS Shotgun features a modified stock increasing the length of pull to 14.5″, a practical change for shooters who prefer a more extended L.O.P. for better cheek weld and eye alignment with longer cast shots or when wearing thicker outerwear. The increased L.O.P. also stabilizes swing dynamics for taller shooters.
Barrel, Chokes, and Ballistics
Chambered in 12GA and fitted with 28″ barrels, this side-by-side offers a balance of velocity and handling. The fixed full choke in both barrels tightens shot patterns for dense, effective patterning at typical upland and near-range waterfowl distances. For those focused on pattern consistency and tight pellets on small-to-medium game, the full choke barrels are an asset straight from the factory.
